Under the terms of the agreement, Minrad will merge with a newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary of Piramal. If the merger is completed, stockholders of Minrad will receive $ 0.12 per share in cash. In connection with the merger agreement, Piramal has also agreed to acquire Minrad's 8% senior secured convertible notes from the note holders. Total consideration for the merger and acquisition of the notes, in cash plus the assumption of debt, will be approximately $ 40 million.

It is not subject to any financing contingency and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2009.
